Racist Graffiti Painted on Bridge in UVA

The University of Virginia’s Beta Bridge, which serves as “an ultimate display of freedom of expression,” was defaced when someone spray painted a racial slur and a vulgar image on it in May. Days after, the message “Black solidarity and progression. Racism will not deface our vision,” was left as a response to the crude remarks on the landmark.
